Hello Product Hunters! I started AmaLinks Pro nearly 2 years ago. You can say I was 'scratching my own itch." You see - there was not a good WordPress plugin available that included all of the functionality that I wanted - so I teamed up with a world-class WordPress coder and we built out the best damn Amazon affiliate WordPress plugin that ever existed! Our primary goal and intent with AmaLinks Pro is to make Amazon link insertion extremely easy and seamless from within the WordPress editor. We believe we have accomplished that goal - after many months of tweaking the plugin based on real user feedback. I created a special discount code just for Product Hunters - so you all can try out AmaLinks Pro for a ridiculously low rate. The discount code will remain active for 7 days from the time of this 'launch' on Product Hunt. You can access it here - https://amalinkspro.com/product-... AmaLinks Pro connects to the Amazon API to pull in real-time product data. The plugin walks you through the link building process with a super-simple, wizard-like user interface. Even the newest of WordPress newbies can easily use AmaLinks Pro to insert Amazon affiliate links! One small problem for Amazon Associate newbies though... they don't have access to the API until after they make a few affiliate sales. Not to worry - AmaLinks Pro has non-API functionality as well! So, even if you don't have access to the Amazon API yet - you can use AmaLinks Pro to create high-converting Amazon link types so you can get those initial sales faster! We love everything about AmaLinks Pro - but what we are especially proud of is our Table Builder add-on. We believe we have created the easiest-to-use and best overall product comparison table builder, for Amazon products, that exists for WordPress users. You can easily build tables within minutes and tweak the settings to make them look and act however you want! With just a few clicks - your tables are 100% mobile responsive - which was not an easy feat to accomplish. We're excited to share AmaLinks Pro with the Product Hunt community. I hope you enjoy what we have to offer. Again - access the limited-time discount just for Product Hunters here - https://amalinkspro.com/product-... Feel free to ask any questions and myself or someone from our team will answer as soon as we can.

Hey Matt, AMALinksPro has done a great job becoming the right solution for a lot of Amazon Affiliate Site owners. Creating great looking fully compliant Amazon Affiliate sites is easier with AMALinksPro. Question for you is with the rise of so many page builders like Elementor, Beaver etc do you get into any issues with people also using them?
Matthew Allen
@jon_gillham Most of the plugin page builders like Elementor, Thrive and more do not work directly with our plugin as they have functionality built in to prevent regular WordPress functions form working properly. That said our plugin content works great within most page builders! https://amalinkspro.com/build-st... - Here is a great example of our plugin working alongside the Elementor page builder plugin. https://amalinkspro.com/stunning... - Here is some more information about using AmaLinks Pro - the best Amazon Affiliate WordPress plugin alongside of popular page builders.

I've been using AmaLinks Pro for almost 6 months now, and I can't recommend it enough to anyone making money with Amazon's affiliate program on a WordPress website. I was using AAWP, but switched after doing a roundup review on my blog on Amazon affiliate plugins and realizing that AmaLinks Pro was so much better. I love the "Showcase Boxes", which pull an image, list of product highlights and updated price into a very clickable box. The tables are also great, and pull in the latest Amazon prices via API, which I find really helps get visitors to click. It also works with all Amazon programs, not just the US. The boxes and tables are not blocked by Adblock - people forget how important that is. The AmaLinks Pro team goes above and beyond to adhere to Amazon's affiliate guidelines. As such, it won't display product ratings (no longer available on the API), but I'd rather comply with the terms than risk getting banned. It's more expensive than other plugins (I pay $127/year for up to 3 sites), but the extra income I make covers it, and it takes me hardly any time to setup and use. You can read my more detailed rundown of AmaLinks Pro here: https://internetfolks.com/amalin... (full disclosure, I am also an affiliate for AmaLinks Pro) There are a few minor things I like to see ironed out in future iterations, like the ability to have tables be fully responsive (right now you need to choose which columns show up on which device). Overall, it's super easy to install via 2 WordPress plugins, and takes no time to learn how to use. I'm bummed that I didn't get $40 off when I upgraded 2 days ago (!), but even at full price AmaLinks Pro more than pays for itself and then some. Thanks @matt76allen for bringing it to life!

Why I use AmaLinks Pro: - attractive showcase boxes and tables - pulls latest Amazon price data via API - easy to setup and use - works on Amazon US, UK, CA and other programs - not blocked by Adblock - compliant with Amazon's ToS What could use improvement: - no review ratings feature (can't be done with Amazon API) - better table responsiveness

@tomtheseoguy Thanks for the great insight from an actual user! We wold love to be able to add review stars, but since we have a duty to remain 100% compliant to the Amazon Associate agreement, we feel it would open the door to compliance issues. Table responsiveness is very tricky because we have no idea of the amount of content that will go in a table, or have any idea of the space that the table will reside in. We decided early on to give people the choice as how to make your table responsive - and we feel this is very important so you can show your highest click-through-rate columns, which of course you can determine using our built-in auto event tracking. Thanks for the feedback that auto-responsiveness is important to you! We'll definitely consider how we can automate more.

Hey @matt76allen , Thank you for sharing this. BDW, do you mind sharing as why you created this plugin in the time when others are leaving Amazon affiliate program because of very low commission rates?
Matthew Allen
@manav_naveen - Welcome and thanks for the comment! First I'd like to mention that we've been around for almost 2 years now, and Amazon has made multiple rounds of comisison changes over the years. This latest round is nothing new to us. While it's true that many people got hit hard by the commission cuts, and our sympathy goes out to you, but you also have to consider that a large percentage of Amazon affiliates did not get hit hard. While these commission cuts are devastating for many serious affiliates, they are not so bad for the thousands of affiliates who are only in this for some extra cash from their hobby blogs. We care about those affiliates just as much. Many people seem to have the notion that most Amazon affiliates were hit hard and are leaving the program. I can tell you with certainty from our data that this is not the case. Even after these huge commission cuts – with their 38% of the eCommerce market share & cross promotion expertise – we predict the Amazon Associate program will still be one of the best & easiest ways for beginner affiliates and every day bloggers to monetize their websites. Here at AmaLinks Pro, we feel it’s our duty to keep focusing on making the best damn Amazon affiliate plugin for all of the Amazon affiliates who are not giving up, and will continue to use the program for an endless list of amazing things a little extra cash per month can do to improve your life.
